Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog has been live for six weeks now. So much new product to play with. I ordered the Picture This Dies and just recently started playing with them. Find them on page 164 of the catalog.
The card above uses the Sweet Strawberry Bundle and the 6 x 6 Brights Designer Series Paper. Be sure to watch the video below showing card samples and how the card above was created.
I thumbed through the catalog, marking pages of stamp sets that would work well with these dies. Today, I share a few other card samples using these dies.
Picture This Dies Card Samples
This card features the Snowflake Wishes stamp set, Evergreen Embossing Folder, and the Pearlescent Specialty Paper. The coordinating colors are Balmy Blue and Night of Navy.
The images in the Lovely You stamp set fit perfectly in the circles created by the Picture This Dies. I also used the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (a hostess choice available for $18 with Stampin’ Rewards. This is a great value: 48 12 x 12 sheets of double-sided paper with black and white designs on one side and colorful images on the other).
Here, I show a sample using the rectangle version of the dies using Stampin’ Up!’s Nothing Better Than stamp set and Pattern Party Designer Series Paper.
All of the little die cut images from the Hats Off Bundle fit perfectly in the circles. It creates a great masculine card that uses the Neutrals 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.
Looking ahead to Halloween with this design and the Banner Year stamp set.

With the start of June, summer officially begins! What treat says summer? Ice cream. (Who I am kidding? Anytime of the year is a good time for ice cream!)
In fact, June 7 marked National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. I created a fun shaker card to share using Stampin’ Up!’s Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch.
This bundle first appeared in Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. The good news: It’s also found a spot in the brand-new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.
However, a few products used to create the Sweet Ice Cream shaker card (card design inspired by Kim Allen) retire at the end of June (or while supplies last). These include:
Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper
Blackberry Bliss Stripe Ribbon
Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles
As of today’s post, these items are all still available. Click here to view the Last Chance Product List. Some items offered at discounts up to 50 percent off. While supplies last. Another great way to shop the last chance list is to go directly to my online store at kimquade.stampinup.net and view the discounted items there.

I recently returned from Stampin’ Up!’s incentive trip to Maui! What a treat! The weather was beautiful, and the company spoiled the earners and their guests. I truly thank all of my friends, customers, team, and supportive husband for this awesome opportunity.
The event focuses mainly on relaxing, recharging, and connecting with other demonstrators. We didn’t have any planned stamping events, but we did exchange swap cards. To participate, I made 26 of one card. (See my card here.)
Then, we receive 25 different cards back! It’s so fun to see the variety of ideas presented by other demonstrators. (Review the video of the cards I received here. Hint: the card showcase takes place near the end of the video.)
Expressions in Ink Gift Card Holder
I really liked a card I received from Selene Kempton; it doubles as a gift card holder. I changed up the Designer Series Paper and the sentiment to make it my own.
Dimensions to cut the card stock, working from the top down:
4 1/4 x 2 3/4 — your choice of Designer Series Paper
4 1/2 x 3 — colored coordinating card stock
7 1/2 x 4 3/4, scored at 1 inch and 4 1/4 inches — white “base”
5 1/4 x 3 3/4 — colored coordinating card stock mat
1 x 4 3/4 — Designer Series Paper for the inside trim piece
Gift Card Holder Inside
Be sure to watch the following video for a visual look at how this unique gift card holder goes together.

Supplies Used to Create this Project

So many fun ways to personalize the great baseball cap image found in Stampin’ Up!’s Hats Off Bundle. Today’s post shows you how I combined the Hats Off and Spiral Dye stamp sets to create a unique hat with a feminine touch.
Be sure to watch the video below for instructions. (Also, look at the swap cards I received on the Maui Incentive Trip.)
This card takes two steps. First, complete the first two-step process used to create the fun, multi-colored Spiral Dye image. This post contains a video and a card sample. I used the new 2021-2023 In Colors of Pale Papaya and Fresh Freesia.
Stamp the hat image with Memento ink onto your completed Spiral Dye image. When using a 5 1/4 x 4 inch piece of card stock, you get two hat images. Die cut the hat with either the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine or the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Add a “label” or a “crest” to your hat.
Here’s another card that uses the smaller hat die from this set.
Think of all the different ways you can personalize the hat!
